Really good data field!
You should make it an app!
Which sport do you use this data field with?

Three stars only because you don't know how to install a DF in your device...? Thank you. A DF has to be inserted as a new IQ field in a sport activity as your choice. You set the new field in one field layout format and you search for the present DF. After that, you save the new activity created and exit it. Then, you enter the activities and launch the new one just created, and you will see the DF.

Hello again , the idea behind it is great , but the data field is 9 out of 10 wrong , it always gives like jumps of 30 meters or even 90 meters , I am puting 5 stars because it works on small jumps like 1-2 meters but once you go further up its all wrong data , I am curios how do you calculate the jumps ?

Hello Rebetiko and thanks for your comment. Unfortunately, we can not access accelerometer and sensors in real time within a data field so, I can only catch the altitude read by the GPS altimeter. The only two ways could be: change the GPS mode to see if it's better with another tracking mode (GPS + GLONASS for example) or, transform this DF in an application which allows the use of sensors (accelerometer). I have to think about that possibility otherwise I can not change anything in this data field to compensate the lacks of the GPS accuracy, and I am sorry for that.

Hi there , the app is absolutely brilliant but I will give it 4 stars for these reasons :
1. Some session of my kite it dosent save at all any jump
2. Today went kiting jumped 5.6 meters and it showed 53 meters
3. The other went kiting did a 8.6 jump on woo sports device while wearing the fenix and in the fenix it showed 12,3 ( maybe because the woo is on lower and the watch not ??! )
But its a great idea and a great app
ps: It would be great if you could add all the jumps ie not just the biggest jump but all of them and the minute that they are made . Keep on the good work mate and thank you , next week I will buy you a paypal beer :D

Hello Rebetiko, and many thanks for your comment. I don't practice kitesurfing but windsurfing mostly on flat water so, I can't really test the height of jumps. Garmin devices are not intended to be used for calculating altitude during a short or very short period so, it is quite challenging to calculate and obtain this value. I will do my best to optimize the formula next in the future. About your suggestion, with this new version 1.11, you can now see all your jumps on a graph in your profile activities. And thanks in advance for the cold beer );

Rally nice App. It works well.
It would be awesome to have the statistics integrated with the wind speed of the spot.

Hello Andrea and thanks for your comment. Your suggestion is a good idea but not very useful for this kind of data field that you are supposed to use 'in situ' when you are already on the spot.
There are some good apps for checking wind conditions (Windfinder, Windguru) before, and I prefer to keep the remaining memory space for adding useful functionalities.

Tried to install the app several time, got it on my fenix5 (visible on garmin express) but never visible on the app on the watch itself :-(

This is not an app nor a widget but a data field so, as written in your device manual, you need to insert it in an activity (like sailing or a new one you just created yourself) in order to see and use it. So, before posting a poor rating and/or comment, please check and read the manual on how to install and use datafields in your watch. Thank you.

Sorry, no statistics available yet.
